The Application Gallery features COMSOL Multiphysics® tutorial and demo app files pertinent to the electrical, structural, acoustics, fluid, heat, and chemical disciplines. You can use these examples as a starting point for your own simulation work by downloading the tutorial model or demo app file and its accompanying instructions.
Search for tutorials and apps relevant to your area of expertise via the Quick Search feature. Note that many of the examples featured here can also be accessed via the Application Libraries that are built into the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and available from the File menu.
A 2D model of a steel bar is used to simulate oil quenching from an austenitic state. Both diffusive and displacive phase transformations are used, and the phase composition is computed in the radial direction of the bar. Read More
This model example simulates an air-cooled cylindrical 18650 lithium-ion battery during a charge-discharge cycle, followed by a relaxing period. A lumped (0D) cell model is used to model the battery cell chemistry, and a two-dimensional axi-symmetrical model is used to model the ... Read More
Creep is an inelastic time-dependent deformation which occurs when a material is subjected to stress at sufficiently high temperature, say 40% of the melting point or more. Experimental creep data (using constant stress and temperature) often display three different types of behavior ... Read More
In a lithium metal battery, lithium metal is deposited during charging on the negative electrode. Mass transport and ohmic effects in the electrolyte cause small protrusions on the metal surface to be subjected to accelerated growth during charging. In worst case scenarios, this leads to ...

In this example, triaxial and oedometer tests are simulated using the Hardening Soil material model. Both tests exhibit a hyperbolic stress–strain relationship. For the triaxial test, it is confirmed that the axial stress approaches the analytical failure stress asymptotically. In the ... Read More
In this example a thin curved membrane is built and solved using the Shell interface. This model is a widely used benchmark model denoted the Scordelis-Lo roof. The computed maximum z-deformation is compared with the value given in Proposed Standard Set of Problems to Test Finite ... Read More
In this model, we introduce a cloaking method using an electrically tuned monolayer of graphene. We will show that when a cylindrical dielectric scatterer is covered in graphene, the scattering cross section is greatly reduced at the designated frequency, making it electromagnetically ... Read More
This tutorial studies the propagation of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) though a tissue phantom. HIFU is used in many different biomedical applications such as thermal ablation of tumors, transcranial HIFU surgery, shock wave lithotripsy, etc. A HIFU transducer typically ... Read More
Gas cells have several applications in the design of scientific instruments. A gas cell is used to define a high-pressure region within the instrument's main vacuum system. For example, in this application, note we are designing a high-pressure region 100 mm long, with an operating ... Read More
This tutorial models an ICP reactor by solving plasma fluid type equations fully coupled with the homogeneous and time-independent electron Boltzmann equation in the classical two-term approximation. The approximated Boltzmann equation is solved for each position of space and is coupled ... Read More
